So, here is a slide show from my wedding, with music from the ceremony (Halo 3, Zelda, Jurassic Park) and a transcript of the service below. Ceremony by Matt Fear. First off I would like to start off with a little something I have always wanted to do… “Mawwage. Mawwage is what bwings us togethew [...]

Cars 2 for the DS <3
Posted by on July 7, 2011
So my first title as an employee of Firebrand Games has been released. Cars 2 for the DS! And, the best ad for it ever was released in Japan, and I wanted to share that with you. And no, I do not review titles I work on. I just show awesome Japanese videos from them.
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Review
Posted by on July 5, 2011
I had waited for this title. I really, really wanted it. And of course, I got it on launch day. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a remastered version of the classic title that original appeared on the N64, which is possible the best Zelda game of all time. And of course, one [...]
HALO: ODST Review
Posted by on June 22, 2011
So, I know ODST has been out for a long time… to be exact, it was released in September of 2009… but I just got around to playing it. And to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed with this title. Wanna know why? Here are my reasons. I think I was spoiled by [...]
Will You Wii U? Depends on the Price.
Posted by on June 8, 2011
So yesterday was the Nintendo press release at E3 where they finally unveiled their new HD console, the Wii U. Now, I’m not going to go into how stupid I think the name is. I’m not going to go into the hard core gamer title line up it’s going to have. I’m not going to [...]
Becoming More Afraid of the Zombie Apocalypse
Posted by on June 8, 2011
This past month I got married, went on my honeymoon and realized how easily it would be for the zombie apocalypse to actually spread. I guess I have always been a little more worried about not necessarily zombies, but infectious diseases, more than the average person. I don’t know if it’s because I was briefly [...]
Games for Health – Game Accessibility
Posted by on June 3, 2011
Hey all, sorry there haven’t been many posts lately. I’ve been swamped with life, which I will get into later. ANYWAY! A couple weeks a go I was a speaker at the Games for Health Conference in Boston. I know it’s going to seem pretty boring to most people, but it’s something I’m passionate about. [...]

As everyone knows, I’m a Silent Hill fan. I just wanted to share my collection. So here it is- minus the picture of my tattoo that is. *Edit: One of my friends realized I didn’t add in my copy of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories as well. So here it is minus my tattoo and that. [...]

Hello Kitty Car – Updates Part 2
Posted by on April 16, 2011
So, the Hello Kitty Car continues. For those of you who missed the previous additions, you can see them here and here. I just got this tail pipe put on my car today. It’s the most adorable tail pipe ever. I also got rid of the ’2′ badge and replaced it with a “Demio” badge, [...]
Nintendo Announcing a New Console?
Posted by on April 15, 2011
So, yesterday afternoon my Twitter feed blew up with tons of posts about the rumors that Nintendo is going to be announcing a new HD console. Like really, it was insane. Firstly, I’m not here to speculate on that. If I were to say anything I would just be copying Game Informer or Kotaku or [...]
A Waste of Time – Using Kinect with Netflix
Posted by on April 15, 2011
So yesterday (April 14, 2011), there was an update to Netflix that allowed you to use the Kinect to control the interface. Now, I was unnecessarily excited about this. And I don’t have a good reason. It just seemed like the best thing ever, probably because choosing a movie with the wave of my hand [...]
